Hello, is there any way with MakeMKV to detect reliably whether a given 4K disc is either SDR, HDR10, HDR10+, and/or DV ?
I investigate the metadata, and there's information in `codeLong` field, from which I find it possible to detect Dolby vision, as it's marked as ""MpegH HEVC Main10@L5.1 (dvhe.07.06 BL+FEL+RPU)"
Still, as I checked HDR10+ discs, I do not see any information specific to HDR10+
Discs that are just HDR10 (No DV) will have "MpegH HEVC Main10@L5.1" description, still the very same description I find on 4K SDR discs.
So it appears there's no way to reliably diagnose if the disc is HDR10+, and for discs not having DV, there's no way to tell if it's SDR or HDR disc.
Is there any other utility that can help with that (ideally if it can be run from the command line)?
How to detect SDR/HDR version reliably?

Mediainfo gives lots of metadata details. Give it a try.

@dcoke22 Great thanks I've tried it, and indeed there's a lot of valuable extra information there.
Still, interestingly it doesn't provide an info on Dolby Vision (but that I can get from MKV), also as I checked MediaInfo doesn't recognize Auro 3D audio tracks.
Nonetheless taking data from MakeMKV and MediaInfo gives a near complete picture indeed.

Re: How to detect SDR/HDR version reliably?
You should double check the version of Mediainfo you're running. The latest versions do show info about DV and HDR in .mkv files.

I'm running it on movie backup files (specifically m2ts streams) not MKV files, and as of v22.06 version (which appears as latest) of MediaInfo, it's just DV video layer that is exposed as second video track:
